Mountain Dew Cake

I’ve been promising my cousin I would make this for him for a while. Today was his birthday so I finally attempted it. His request was Mountain Dew cake. It felt weird adding a soft drink to cake mix and to frosting. I vaguely followed this recipe but doubled it and altered it along the way, tweaking to taste. It is a strange mixture of lemon, lime and a hint of orange which kind of actually tastes dew-ish. It does however have that sickly charm that Mountain Dew has so I guess I got it kind of right.
